Synopsis
The world is a carnival of criminality, corruption, and psychosexual strangeness in the twisted pre-Code shockers of Tod Browning. Early Hollywoods edgiest auteur, Browning drew on his experiences as a circus performer to create subversive pulp entertainments set amid the world of traveling sideshows, which, with their air of the exotic and the disreputable, provided a pungent backdrop for his sordid tales of outcasts, cons, villains, and vagabonds. Bringing together two of his defining works (The Unknown and Freaks) and a long-unavailable rarity (The Mystic), this cabinet of pre-Code curiosities reveals a master of the morbid whose ability to unsettle is matched only by his daring compassion for societys most downtrodden. TWO-DVD SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • New 2K digital restoration of Freaks • New 2K digital restoration of The Mystic, with a new score by composer Dean Hurley • New 2K digital reconstruction and restoration of The Unknown by the George Eastman Museum, wi
